' TOBACCO-PIPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 767,801, dated August16, 1904. Application filed February 20, 1904. Serial No. 194,473. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM DIsoH, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes, of whichthe following is a specification.

My invention relates especially to the construction of tobacco-pipes,particularly such as have a section of corncob for the bowl, and has forits object the provision of means whereby a stem may be effectually yetseparably connected with such bowl.

To attain the desired end, my invention consists, essentially, in thecombination, with a corncob bowl, of ascrew-threaded eyelet made ofsheet metal and held in place in a perforation in the bowl so that itcannot move therein and a pipe-stem adapted and arranged to be removablyconnected with said eyelet, all of which will be hereinafter first fullydescribed and then pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, is shown, in Figurel, a verticalsectional view of a pipe embodying my invention. Fig. 2 isa perspective view of the bowl with the stem removed.

Similar numerals of reference wherever they occur indicate correspondingparts in both figures.

1 is a bowl of the pipe, made of corncob in i the usual manner. I

2 is a screw-threaded eyelet, formed of sheet metal, passing through aperforation near the bottom of said bowl and having its inner edgeturned over or flanged, as at 3.

6 is a pipe-stem which removably screws into the eyelet fixed in theperforation of the bowl.

Heretofore in the making of corncob pipes much difficulty has been foundin securing the stems to the bowls in a satisfactory manner. If held byglue or anything of a kindred character, the heat would soon destroysuch a connection, allowing the bowl and stem to separate, and by thecontinued insertion and removal of a stem in a plain perforation the cobwould soon wear away, so that the two parts would not hold together. Ifthe stem projected within the bowl, it became charred and would readilycome away from the bowl. By my construction all difiiculties of thischaracter are overcome, as the eyelet will remain permanent in position,permitting the insertion and removal of the stem for cleaning, &c. asoften as is required, while the amount of metal employed, although verylight, is sufficient to prevent the enlarging of the hole through thebody of the pipe-bowl.

Having now fully described my invention, what 1 claim as new therein,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a pipebowl formed of natural corncob,in combination with a sheet-metal eyelet, said eyelet being providedwith a turned holding-flange within the bowl, and perforated ears uponthe exterior thereof, through which holding screws or pins pass andengage the body of the bowl, substantially as shown and described.

Signed by me at New York city this 25th day of January, 1904:.

WILLIAM DISCH.
